NES storage box question - Complete Noob here...
Postal:
OK, I apologize for any duplication of previous posts, as I have been digging around and may have either completely sucked at searching or just missed the items. But I'm curious;
What is the best route to take for storage boxes and art?
I searched the site for anything related to it, and it appears most UGCs are for games not in the NES library.
I checking for pinned guides and forum posts, but came up empy.
I then found a couple of sites that sell boxes; bitbox, customgamecases
I found many here making their own.
I ordered a load of CGC from Amazon, finding out later that I was 1) Robbed and 2) Buying the wrong cases.
At $3/pc for the customgamecases, that isn't too bad, though I have a feeling that I can get some great results by doing it myself and just finding the correct box.
I have about 35 games that I'd like to have a nice looking retail library of, and I'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction.
Thank you for your input, and sorry if I am being repetitive to other posts.

Currently Universal Game Case is the most common way of storing NES, SNES and N64 games, and our covers are sized for them.
If we are missing covers for your games feel free to reuest them.
Bitbox is another solution for storing NES, there is section for them on the boards.

It's all personal preference. I use UGC's for pretty much all my console cartridges, granted some platforms require messy modification of the cases though.
Nintendo handheld carts will be going into Shadowfox's new DS sized cases.
Any disc based game ends up in either a jewel or DVD case.
I'm hoping that Shadowfox follows up on making an NES modification to UGC molding. I would love to be able to use UGC artwork without the noise and mess of modifying cases myself.

Another option to house your games is double wide dvd cases. They require minimal modification to house all types of games and cover art is easy to resize to accomodate the insert dimensions. And they generally are a little cheaper than UGCs

Oddly enough, I never see 'NES' as an option for stored games with the UGC. (Without modification, might I add) Is there a different UGC that I should be looking at?
This is showing me no option for NES: http://thevideostoreshopper.com/universal-game-case/universal-game-case-%7C-full-sleeve-insert/
If someone has a link to what they use, that'd be awesome!
And thank you for the reply!
